Clinical Trial Summary

Following the randomization procedure, children will be divided into 2 groups (25 immature anterior permanent incisors in each group): Group I will be treated with MTA as apical plug while group II will be treated with Premixed Bioceramic Putty as apical plug. After working length determination, instrumentation, and irrigation of the root canals, apical plug will be done. in MTA Group, MTA will be placed into the apical 4 mm of root canals, then a moist cotton pellet will be placed and the access cavity will be restored with glass-ionomer-based restoration. Next day, glass-ionomer-based restoration and the cotton pellet will be removed, then the coronal restoration will be completed with GIC, composite. In the Premixed Bioceramic Putty group, Well-Root™ PT will be placed into the apical 4 mm of the canals. After 12 min, the coronal and middle third of the root canal will be filled with gutta-percha. The coronal restoration will be completed with GIC, composite. children will be recalled for clinical and radiographical follow-up after 6 and12 months after treatment.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	the clinical success of apexification after using a new apical plug material (Premixed Bioceramic Putty ) compared to the widely used material (MTA)	The apexification procedure will be recorded as a clinical success if the tooth fulfils the following criteria: (1) No pain, (2) No swelling, (3) No tenderness to percussion, (4) No abscess or fistula, and (5) No abnormal tooth mobility.	up to 12 months
Primary	the radiographic success of apexification after using a new apical plug material (Premixed Bioceramic Putty ) compared to the widely used material (MTA)	The apexification procedure will be recorded to be radiographically successful if it demonstrates the following criteria: (1) reduction of apical lesion size (2) Normal periodontal ligament space (2) No furcation pathosis, and (3) No external resorption.; The apexification procedure will be radiographically unsuccessful if the apical lesion size increases.; The apexification procedure will be doubtful if the apical lesion size doesn't change	at 6 and12 months follow up
Secondary	Change in the periapical index (PAI)	Radio-graphically, the periapical index provides an ordinal scale of 5 scores ranging from ''healthy'' to ''severe periodontitis with exacerbating features''. (1) Normal periapical structures. (2) Small changes in bone structure. (3) Changes in bone structure with some diffuse mineral loss. (4) Periodontitis with well-de?ned radiolucent area. (5) Severe periodontitis with exacerbating features. (1, 2: healthy and 3, 4, 5: pathological).	at 6 and12 months follow up
